France in WW2

belgium belgium

Normandy coast.

Normandy is an area of northern France and was named after the early Normans who lived there. It lies east of the Cotentin Peninsula, and the major port of Cherbourg, one of the objectives of the invasion. The landing sites were on the coast that surrounded the major city of Caen.

I love not/ I do not love (English translation)

Literally je n'aime pas means I don't like. Je ne l'aime pas is I don't like it.

The political culture in the United States is fairly evenly divided between two parties. These are the democratic party, and the republican party. A small percentage of Americans identify themselves as independents.

Not enough information. What date? If it's after 1960, it was a current circulating coin worth about 70 cents at the time France switched to the euro in 2002. If it's older than that, please post a new question with its date.

FWIW, "cinq" means five in French, so "cinq 5' is "five five"

1. The inept Italian attack on Greece compelled the Germans to delay operation Barbarossa for one month, a tragic loss of time. 2.The need for German forces in France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Denmark, Noeway, Greece, Yoguslavia and of course in N. Africa, seriously limited the availability of reinforcements for the armies fighting in russia. 3. These manpower shortages compelled the Germans to use allied troops[ Rumanians, Hungarians and Italians], to be responsible for vulnerable sections of the front to the west and south of Stalingrad. In the winter of 1942, the Russians attacked these allied troops and broke through to encircle the German 6th Army and part of 4th Panzer Army. these forces,[250,000], were destroyed. The Germans never did recover from this enormous loss of men and equipment. 4. The Luftwaffa did not have long range bombers with which to impede Russian industrial production. 5. This industrial capacity was much greater than the Germans anticipated. 6. The relentless U.S. and British bombing of German industry caused shortages of heavy equipment,[tanks, planes, self propelled guns etc. These shortages were particularly harmful to the Russian front where the armies were operating over a vast expanse of territory. 7. Germany's severe losses in men and equipment combined with the cumulative effect of the above plus the seemingly limitless Russian resources of men and equipment led to the inevetable collapse. Hope this is helpful.

The Germans were severly unprepared for the Russian winter.

There are many important things about France. For example, it is the fashion capital of the world, and it is also the largest country in Western Europe. But, since there are far too many things about France that are important, try looking it up on this site with questions such as "What are some interesting facts about France?"

France had been greatly hit by world war one and so would want to be harsh on the Germans to get revenge

Answer: Because when Germany signed the Nazi-Soviet pact with the Soviet Union, Germany had the possibility to invade Poland which gave him an opportunity to invade Eastern countries and the north of France.

Niall Ferguson, a controversial but respected British historian, argues that England should have stayed out of the war and let Germany win a contained war, which would have avoided the first two world wars. He argues that England's policies forced Germany to make decisions that led to WWI.

France is the country of the Germanic people, the Francs (which means the free men).

The old term is Francie. (in 843?)

France is a translation from the latin term Francia (in 1243?).

Operation Overlord: 5 beaches in Normandy (Parachute landings by US & British Airborne) jn Normandy Code names Gold Juno Sword Omaha & Utah Operation Dragoon (Also known as Anvil) Landings in Southern France on the Mediterranean coast.

I believe it was called "Operation Overlord." "D-Day" is a generic term used in planning any military action. It makes it easy to plan and move the start time/date without rewriting each individual date, e.g. "d-day plus one."

The code name of the whole operation was OVERLORD; of the naval part of the operation, NEPTUNE.

There were a few factors that contributed to the sinking moral of the US troops fighting in Vietnam. Some of these include the frustration of guerilla warfare used by the enemy, brutal jungle conditions were hard for troops to get accustomed to, drug use by US soldiers increased as the war went on, and lastly, the failure to make sunstantial headway against the enemy.

Yes. Paris was bombed by the Luftwaffe (Germany's Air Force during WW2) on June 3, 1940. France was the second most (after Germany) devastated country via bombings, many of them strategic Allied Bombings.

in my opinion, a defeat, because they basically just ran away.

but at the time it was viewed as a victory, because it saved the lives of many soldiers.

it was a defeat for the the Germans because they retreated, it was a victory for the British because if it werent for all those fishermen and sailors the soilders would of been killed

The soldiers were very hurt and wounded most died at first. The soldiers were very hurt and wounded most died at first. The soldiers were very hurt and wounded most died at first.

I belive what you are trying to say is l'amour, this means love

I dont know for certain, but I'm thinking that Gold & Sword were primarily British, Omaha & Utah were certainly American & that Juno (Between Gold & Sword) was made up mostly of Canadian troops. that doesn't mean there weren't any Americans there & I certainly wasn't !

A few units of French commandoes parachuted in or landed on the beaches and held important points until larger forces arrived. Elements of the French resistance sabotaged railroads and German equipment to delay German reinforcements. A few commandos parachuted and 177 French led by Kieffer landed at "Sword" with the British troops.

Clams, like most other bivalves, spend their days slowly moving across the ocean floor, using a long, muscular "foot" to propel them across the sand. As they go, they use an organ called a siphon to suck up debris on the sandy floor. The siphon is a long, tubular organ that uses suction to pull in whatever tasty morsels the clam can find, including plant and animal matter as well as waste products excreted by other seagoing animals (the waste often contains "leftovers" from whatever the animal ate; these pre-digested remnants are a perfect meal for the clam).

Anti-Draft movement disguised as an anti-war movement. People didn't care about the war (most people didn't even know where Vietnam was anyway); they just didn't want to be forced to go there (by being drafted into the US Army or US Marine Corps).
